22 Childhood Memories That Will Make You Feel Nostalgic AF Or You Didn't Have A Childhood

Overall, I'm a very nostalgic person. Maybe it is because I am constantly drowning in stress because of college and other obstacles that "adulting" forces upon us. Or maybe I just really miss Neopets, but who is to say? Recently, while procrastinating everything in my life, I made the classic mistake of opening Pinterest. After looking at DIY projects that I could never successfully do, I discovered a pinboard of '90s memorabilia.

Though I was born in '97, I still experienced all of the '90s ~aesthetic~ because of my older siblings. Obviously, after scrolling my way through the pinboard I was way too overwhelmed to do any of my schoolwork, so I just went and took a nap :)

Now I hope to do to you what Pinterest did to me and contribute to whatever you're procrastinating by making you strongly yearn for your innocent, stress-free past by listing out some of our favorite childhood gems.

^ STFU, Spider-Man (I'm aware this is Nick Carraway, I swear I'm not that much of a ~uncultured swine~.)

1. Wonder Ball Candy

I would get these at Blockbuster every Friday night (cries).

Also, I found that they are making them again but they're Minion themed, so it's not exactly the same, but at least its something.

2. Beanie Babies

^ Just look at this kid chillin', patting his pet lobster on the back while it rests on his shoulder. Those were the days.

The amount of money my parents probably spent on these things for me is insane. Thanks, mom and dad.

3. Kid Cuisine

I can taste this picture by just looking at it.

4. The Rainbow Fish

If you don't know this book, then it is time for you to culture yourself.

5. Poo-chi the Robot Dog

Honestly, one of the best Christmas presents as a kid.

6.Furbies

Looking back, these things are creepy af but I still love them

7. Doodle Bears

Toys were so much better back then.

8. 90s swing sets

These swing sets were one of the best things growing up.

(Sorry to throwback to the depressing, but great, Fault in Our Stars.)

9. The Sandlot

Two things I know about this movie: 1. Everyone had a crush on Benny. 2. I looked like Ham, the chubby ginger, freshmen year of high school.

10. Skip it

My poor adolescent ankles.

11. Magic slate drawing board

I used to always get these at Cracker Barrel.

12. Ice cream with wooden spoons

^ YES.

13. Old Disney Channel Movies

You know the second these kids started doing touches and floating around that it was movie time.

14. Neopets

Don't even come at me with that Webkinz shit (even though I was obsessed with those, too at one point tbh.)

15. Old TV shows

For real, don't come at me with that Girl Meets World nonsense.

16. Three Little Kittens

Whenever they lost their mittens, my five-year-old self would become so distraught.

17. Everything Lisa Frank

The felt color posters were the best.

18. Nintendo Game Boys

I STILL have my red one.

19. Bop It

This would give me so much anxiety as a child, but I still loved it.

20. Lite Brite

I would always lose the pieces.

21. Gel sandals

Step back Yeezys, this is the truest shoe game.

22. Fisher Price toys

Wow, I miss those simpler times so much.

The list could go on much longer, but the nostalgia is actually overwhelming.

Bucket List To Live In The Now

Find excitement in your life and start exploring wherever you are right here, right now.

mu bucket list

I was sitting at my cubicle, now that I am an adult, looking at the rain pouring down on the windowsill, bumming on life, wishing for the rain to just stop for a full day.

There are moments where we count down the hours until work is over and how many more days till the weekend, and this many weeks until something exciting. Or something like that? Well, I was bumming because my next day off from work is not until Memorial Day weekend, which is not until the end of May. And since this is my first year out of college being a “real person,” I am totally missing the winter, spring and summer breaks. I am sure all of us have felt this way even if just for a hot minute…

It's a time of love, family, memory-making, and gift-giving. But also a time of stressing over the perfect gift.

It's officially December. There is less than a month of 2023, and I still feel like yesterday was summer. Now comes the merriest time of the year, the Christmas season.

Everyone has been waiting for this time of year since mid-October (which is way too early, in my opinion) or before. It's a time of love, family, memory-making, and gift-giving. A lot of times when I ask friends and family what they want, I get a lot of "I don't know" or "I don't care."

Great Value Colleges

If you go to or went to Kent State, then more than likely you have done or will do some of these things.

1. You’ve slipped and fallen on the ice at least once.

The winters at Kent are brutal, and while the heated sidewalks and some great snow boots are always a help, there’s no chance you won’t bust it on the ice at least once in your four plus years at school.

5 Reasons Why Finals Week Is The Worst For People Who Love Christmas

Christmas is on the brain during the month of December, not finals! How do you expect me to study?

Christmas is literally so close. We can almost taste it. But there is just one thing standing between you and the big day: FINALS. It's not the studying, lack of sleep, last minute cram sessions or crappy food intake that is the worst... but the fact that you cannot focus because, well, CHRISTMAS. How do professors expect you to focus when Christmas is soooo soon. For all my fellow Christmas lovers out there, I feel your pain.
